well, I have a 4x4 4.7 Std cab and I noticed some low end gain (thats what I
wanted) It seemed to help the shift problems from 2-3. I dont have a 180
stat, I just added 2 bottles of redline water wetter and it seems to run
cooler.Im not changing that tsat anytime soon. But, I can run 87 octane and
I dont hear one ping. Still, I fill up with 93 and at a half a tank, if I
can time it that way, I fill up with 87, and blend it. seems fine to me.
She ran bone stock on only one run..15.91@85mph. I did have a Z tube though,
but with two precats and no intake work...its still stock. The only other
mod I have done is a Magnaflow muffler inline with the stock exhaust.
